Re: Door panel removal - can I still drive?

Hello all. I am having the door panel issue and depending on my dealer action with car under CPO, may need to send them to Pedro. Question is when I remove the door panels, do I have to leave car at that point or can I still drive it. If I take them off outside of my storage unit, will I be able to drive it back in (and out when I get them back)? Or is it also ok for longer normal driving?

Assume I can’t use window and controls, but thinking I could pull the wire to open the door?

When you take the panels off, make sure the windows are up.
But you can drive the car without any warning lights or error codes.
As you assume, pulling on the bowden cable will open the door.
Happy Porsche'ing,

Ok, dealer will replace the passenger side as it’s significantly bowed and since in proximity of airbag will do that at no charge under the safety concern under CPO. The driver side isn’t bowing yet, but when it does will also replace if still under CPO (which ends in 4 months). A couple winks and nods here and there, but good until the replacements warp.
